Chunks of homeless tents and cardboard boxes.

Shipping containers! (LA/Long Beach is the biggest container port on the continent)

They’ll have a nice supply.

I would think that a sampling of “the stuff” that is floating in the River Seine, would be equally memorable.

I don’t know about LA, but if they run short, I’m sure San Francisco could supply a lot of material. Of course THAT would have to be washed and disinfected first.

I’m sure there’s plenty of those, Nick.

I take it those are participatory medals—-or are they adulterating the gold / silver / bronze medals with a little Eiffel Tower steel?

Rimshot!

Sounds like it would be in Seine to swim there.

From the sublime to the ridiculous.

When was the last time an Olympic medal was real gold?

Answer: 1912

An athlete from one of the underdeveloped nations won a gold medal. Was so proud of it, he took it and had it bronzed.

For Los Angeles, medals made out of calcified smog

They could make really huge medals!

In cities across the country developers get a lot of corporate welfare to build malls that aren’t needed, and then people wonder why they were abandoned.

Cut up the remains of disabled Cybertrucks.

As the host country gets to pick a sport to showcase I’m actually more interested in LA 28’s entry. “Drive by Shooting”…..

Concrete from the Los Angeles River.

Just watch out for the “chunks” on the sidewalks – from both ends of the alimentary canal.

What makes this even more interesting, is that France is one of the leaders, when it comes to demanding ever more restrictive environmental policies, and promoting the “Green Agenda”, yet THIS, in the nation’s capitol, IS what is making the headlines.And, the MEDIA that are there covering the Olympics are too stupid to comment on the FAILURE.

Chunks of anything concrete from LA. Freeways, aquaduct, sidewalks.
